Self-ordered sub-micron structures in Fe-doped LiNbO<sub>3</sub> formed by light-induced frustration of etching

We have produced millimetre-sized areas of self-ordered, sub-micron scale, complex structures in iron-doped single crystal lithium niobate, using the combined interaction of laser light and etching with acid. We report here the factors that influence the formation of the structures, and illustrate t...
